Solution
The correct option is A Polar bear - Eurythermal
- Polar bears are stenothermal because they can tolerate only a narrow range of temperature and are restricted to specific regions only. On the other hand, eurythermal animals can tolerate a wide range of temperature variations and thus have a wider distribution on earth.
- Archaea are microorganisms that define the limits of life on Earth. They were originally discovered and described in extreme environments, such as hydrothermal vents and terrestrial hot springs.
- Cyanobacteria can be found in almost every terrestrial and aquatic habitat—oceans, freshwater, damp soil, temporarily moistened rocks in deserts, bare rock, and soil, and even Antarctic habitats, some of the driest and coldest ecosystems on the Earth.
- Ectotherms like desert lizards do not use metabolic heat to maintain their body temperature but manage to keep their body temperature fairly constant by behavioural means. They bask in the sun and absorb heat when their body temperature drops below the comfort zone but move in to shade when the ambient temperature starts increasing.
- So the incorrectly matched option is A.
